CHALLENGE TIME!!!!!

Hello my sweet friends,

So I will be honest I am not in any way competitive, sometimes I wish I were because I feel like it would make me play better during family games. Anytime I find myself getting competitive this really mean/cranky/jealous side of me comes out. So let's just so it is better that I'm not competitive. As for those who are, it amazes me the determination and drive it gives them. Though I am not competitive I am extremely motivated. Not all the time, but when I am, there is no stopping me...that is until my stupid "negative self talk" kicks in and I have to tell it to "BE QUIET" (p.s- Adelade, my 1.5 yr old didn't see me use the word stupid, okay?).

Okay onto what my big IDEA is...well it's not really MY idea, people do it all the time and my Husband got me thinking about it again. I am going to hold a.....CHALLENGE!! (yeeeah I am!!) Okay, so what is this challenge you ask?
The challenge will involve those who want to lose weight and reach a fitness goal.
The Challenge is going to be over the course of 12 weeks and starts on FEBRUARY 26th! Yes it is the day bootcamp starts, but you DON'T have to be a boot-camper to be a part of the challenge. 
Here is what you need to know:
START DATE: FEB. 26th END DATE: MAY 21st
How to win:

•  Whomever loses the greatest percentage of body fat AND reaches their fitness goal will WIN. There may be a 1st, 2nd, 3rd prize winner depending on how many people enter.

What do you win:

• Well you are going to be pretty darn happy with yourself for having a goal and reaching it and you'll be healthier and more fit and you will also win a cash prize....DID I say CASH prize?!

How to enter:

• Everyone puts in $10 (...viola the cash prize) all of it goes to the winner, and perhaps the runner ups!
• Submit your weight in lbs
• Submit your fitness goal (make sure it is a reasonable goal, something you cannot do right now but could do within 3 months. for example running a marathon in 3 months if you haven't run before would not be a realistic goal) If you want help coming up with one for yourself let me know.
• Submit your measurements (I will let you know how to do those if I don't do them for you)
•  Submit a before and after picture (Front, profile and back)

So who is IN?!?
If you are IN just email me/facebook me/comment on this post and I will put you down.
So the challenge starts next Tuesday but you need to submit everything to me by MARCH 5th 2013.

I am excited to see how this unfolds. I will be getting in on the action to, though I won't be losing any weight as I'll be gaining a baby over the next 6 months, but I will have a fitness goal!!

Also as for posting any of the contestant information on my blog I won't do so unless I have your permission. As this is still a work in progress there may be changes as it happens.

Good luck to you all! I am SO excited!! tee hee!

Ready to sweat it up and have some fun!? Can't wait to see ya there!!!

Happy 2013

I hope this finds you all well and good. Did you all enjoy your holidays? I hope everyone got to spend time with family and friends and take sometime to relax. I am happy to say I got to do all of those things. I very much enjoyed spending everyday of my holiday with my husband and daughter. They bring so much joy to my life!!

 I am happy to report boot camp is starting in less than a week! Wahhooo!! Check out my bootcamp page with all the details. It is going to be a great time, I can feel it! Even if you aren't doing my boot camp. I hope you are all keeping up with your health and fitness. It is easy to jump on the "New Year's Resolution Band Wagon", but if it helps you get a jump start on reaching for your goals I won't stop you. All I can say is remember to be nice to yourself, set reasonable goals, and find a way to enjoy reaching them.

Here are 2 things that REALLY helped me lose weight and get more fit, though I'm sure you could apply these principles to any goal you have set for yourself.
1. I made a workout chart and put in on my fridge, it had all my workout days planned, including days when I rested. Then every day when I did what the chart told me to do I got to color in the square. It made me feel pretty happy with myself. I know it sounds like something you do when you are 10 yrs. old, but hey it worked for me. It helped to have a daily visual reminder of what I was going to do.
2. I changed to way I talked about myself and my goals. I always said "when I", not "if I", I said "I will", not "maybe". I talked in a way that I believed in myself entirely. It felt weird at first and I had to often correct myself, but eventually I saw how it was helping stay confident and accountable.

So here is to another year! Happy 2013! :)
